I read it as “I’m at a loss for words.” right off the bat before I even realized what it was.

Clearly I have ascended to a higher plane of meme-istance

Because I like to take advantage of subsidized pricing and I have yet to encounter a brand that’s been able to break through my pfSense box’s adblocking coupled with bimonthly reviews of traffic logs from suspect devices

For Inside Out, The Good Dinosaur, and Finding Dory, the story continues in Parts 2,3, and 4

Why man why, I’m supposed to be working and you link something interesting that is a total of 5 parts :/

That sounds… horrible, flying sucks enough as-is I have no idea why anyone would subject themselves to even more torture lol

I could see an argument for a waiting room or being in the bathroom with nothing but your own thoughts…but a potentially multi-hour flight?

You should be able to turn it on on the enclosure and then plug it into the laptop whenever, similarly you should be able to disconnect it from the laptop whenever and then switch it off

My turning off the laptop is more of a precaution from what weird things I’ve seen cheap no-names do in the past.

I would see if you can find the manual online somewhere and see what it says, it should specify the proper order of doing things or worst case you’d have to test with a cheap PCIe device

Worst case consequence, the PCIe device should be what dies here since the enclosure is likely being powered externally, but most likely it’ll just cause a crash.

Not to say it’s impossible for it to burn out a port, but it would require some serious negligence on the manufacturer

The laptop should be powered off whenever you turn the enclosure on or off by its switch, although the enclosure should handle this on its own. But my trust in it would depend on the brand/reviews/quality.

One last thing. One of the 2 products I’m looking at, the better of the 2 because it also comes with an m.2 slot and some extra ports, has instructions in a youtube video about connecting power supply cables to the GPU itself as well as the enclosure. My card only consumes 10w of power and doesn’t take external power. If I connect a power supply to the enclosure and plug in the card, it should just draw power from the PCIe slot right?

Yes, anything that’s not a GPU the slot will be able to provide more than enough power, but again, a sus no-name cheap Chinese brand might not have wired it up properly if they were expecting the end-user to only use a GPU in it.

That being said, since the device you mention has a self-powered m.2 slot and other ports id wager it more likely than not it’s wired up correctly

and arachnids

Im so tempted to buy them in bulk and release them into my house…but…then what do I release to get rid of them after the job is done?

Squints

Maybe, but it needs some more jpg to be sure

I guess americans just can’t make good pizza.

No, giant American corporations cant make good pizza, I can assure you we’ve got plenty of local joints all over that can rival yours

“It’s FUCKING RAW DEPRECATED!” ~Chef Torvalds

Fuck, I want to go to a Distro Bistro, owner definitely needs to maintain the Chef Ramsey energy though

Ah right, except for that, damn propriety bullshit lmao

2000’s era

Any modern standard PSU will work provided it has molexs. PSUs were pretty much standardized by then, there’s really no need to “rescue” the one it came with

Now if you had a “true” vintage computer with a non standard PSU, like something from the 80s or an Apple II or something like that, yea you might need to repair it or hope someone is making new replacements for it

Edit: Unless it’s a damn proprietary PSU like Dell, pop the model in eBay and see what comes up in that case.

I’m pretty sure Labour is like our center left

conservatives center right

reform is our far right

Liberal Democrat is our far left

The rest are what we would write off as “third parties”, except they actually get some representation across the pond lol

Wait, is that a real connector/jack and not photoshopped to be comically elongated?

Bruh, wdym “has become”? MS was wild in the 90s.

Not only that, depending on where this vending machine is, it could be nothing more than a leased spot with the actual machine, inventory, and access keys owned by an off site company.

While the sign could be the best that employees of whatever store could do

Idk, the “Hoary netherworld” sounds kinda fun
